Andrew McCutchen back in Phillies' lineup Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Antonio Senzatela and the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

McCutchen was held out of Wednesday's lineup versus the Milwaukee Brewers, but he's back in left field and hitting fifth for Thursday's opener with the Phillies. Odubel Herrera is returning to center field in place of an idle Travis Jankowski.

numberFire’s models project McCutchen for 8.6 FanDuel points and he has a $3,300 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Phillies have an implied total of 4.8 runs. Senzatela is registering a 16.0 strikeout percentage (bottom 6% of the league) and a 4.8 walk percentage (top 5%) this season, with a 4.55 xERA and a .324 xwOBA.
